What happens if I have an overdue book or a lost/damaged book?

• Lost books must be paid for in order to clear student records and allow them to check out another book. Students will be asked to send money for lost and damaged items depending on the repair or replacement cost. Cash or checks made out to "PLFF Elementary School" are accepted for payment. If a book is found before the end of the school year, your money will be refunded.
• If a student has overdue materials, his or her borrowing privileges will be suspended until the overdue materials are returned. Students do not need to wait until their "library day" to check out books.
